Wow, what a story.. thank you for taking the time and self-love to post this..
"If I'm dying, I want to leave a trail behind."
A hard, yet potent truth. So many people in life are 'asleep at the wheel,' and it's not until too late they realize this is their moment. Their moment to create, love, inspire, and like you so eloquently state "leave a trail behind."
That's what it's all about. Leaving the world a better place than you found it. And it's not a race, it's all about immersing yourself in the oceanic depths of the present. Enjoy the journey : )
And no one said it was easy, one of my favorite quotes: "If you wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down."
Sending the best of vibes to you - please keep writing and inspiring!
